Many thanks for the link and words of wisdom. The SVTs (atrial tachycardia) turned my world upside down. They start in April about one event per week maybe 5 minutes in length. By the end of June I was having 5-8 events per day with a bpm of 160+ lasting hours. Vagal maneuvers would bring my heart down but only for a minute or two. I had 3 cardioversions in 12 days. The SVTs played huge havoc on my CMD (Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction) sending me in unstable angina events/pain requiring nitro infusions ( 9 to 23 hours) to resolve. The EP studies/mapping, subsequent ablations & med changes seem to have capped the SVTs Keeping my finger crossed - the ablation were done 7 days ago and my pacemaker was implanted 6 days ago. All of this is pretty new to me.
